How do you go about growing dreads?
is it just acase of not combing/washing your hair for months?
(, Mon 19 Mar 2007, 16:02, archived)
You have to bury small afro-caribbean children in compost.
And play Roots reggae at them comstantly.

1) Be black - any other colour you'll look like a twat
2) Have it done by an African hair specialist
3) Be black. I know I've already said this, but it's quite important
4) Remember that it's irreversable.
5) Ask your fellow black friends.
6) Be black. (see point 3)

Aye.
But it's pretty irreversible for the hair involved, though.

if you are not black, I would reccommend rolling other things into the hair
and always go for the messy look.

Some white girls look quite fetching with dreads.
Mainly that girl out of As If.

Shame she is such a miserable, joyless, humourless boring twat in real life.
(, Mon 19 Mar 2007, 16:06, archived)
Can't agree with you, I'm afraid.
She was attractive enough, but she would have looked less of a twat (and probably happier) without the dreads.

I have dreads
If you stop combing/washing your hair you will end up with one big dread. The easiest way to do it is:

1) backcomb all of your hair
2) separate it out into dreads
3) twist and backcomb each one individually
4) apply dreadlock wax (Dread It! is the one I use)
5) wrap a thin piece of wool around each dread
6) leave them for a week or so
7) remove wool
8) repeat as necessary

Because my hair is naturally very straight, I had mine sewn in as well

I suspect this was more to do with them having serious personal hygiene problems
rather than them having dreaded hair. It's still just hair. You can wash it unless you are a seriously skanky fucker.
